Eagles center Jason Kelce joined the Amazon broadcast booth on Thursday night, and fans loved his appearance.
In the second quarter of the terrible Panthers-Bears TNF game, Kelce appeared alongside Kirk Herbstreit and Al Michaels and immediately lightened the mood.
Fans noticed how much happier Michaels was due to Kelce’s appearance.

Michaels immediately was seen making jokes with Kelce about his “sexiest man alive” nomination.
Al Michaels: I saw Kelce one of the finalists for sexiest man. I thought it was — you know who I thought it was?

It appeared that Kelce, who is nearing retirement, appeared to be auditioning for the role of a future broadcaster for Amazon.
It is worth noting that Michaels has already stated that he would certainly be back for another season despite fans calling for his retirement.
“As far as I’m concerned, I’m doing next year,” Michaels said. “There’s no question about that in my mind.”
The 35-year-old Kelce has hinted at retirement in the past and is currently signed to a one-year deal with the Eagles.
